Festive High Tea

Overview

If there's an occasion to celebrate, W Brisbane's resident bar wants in on the action, theming its high-tea spread around different times of the year. Now that the festive season is upon us, it has switched to an appropriately merry offering. If you like drinking Christmas-themed cocktails while tucking into tiny bites to eat, then add a visit to Living Room Bar to your list.

On the menu for 2024's Festive High Tea: fig mousse with cinnamon sable, pineapple marshmallow snowmen with lemon curd, rosemary and parmesan scones, maple-glazed ham pinwheels, shredded turkey tacos with cranberry sauce, lamb and rosemary pies, and more.

The edible highlight? This feast will also get you building your own gingerbread house, then tucking in. 'Tis the season, after all.

That's an impressive, tastebud-tempting range; however, the boozy side of things is also exciting — including a Spiced Holiday Highball cocktail featuring spice cake rum, sweet vermouth, macadamia and pineapple soda that's being made especially for the high tea. For non-alcoholic sips, endless tea and barista-made coffee come with the package.

Yes, it's time to chose your pals best in need of a Xmas treat, then make a date — this high tea is on offer from Thursday–Sunday until Sunday, December 29.

Price-wise, you have three options. Pay $79 each, and you'll feast your way through the food like you're Santa on Christmas Eve, and enjoy the tea and coffee. Opt for the $99 option to add a cocktail. For $109, you'll also get a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne.
